8 Heat & Heat Transfer The term "ton" comes from the days when cooling was done with ice. A ton of cooling capacity expresses the rate of cooling accomplished when one ton (2,000 lb.) of ice is melted in 24 hours. Since each pound of ice takes 144 Btu to melt, that's 288,000 Btu (2,000 lbs x 144 Btu/lb) per 24 hours, which is a cooling rate of 12,000 Btuh. 8

9 Heat & Heat Transfer Sensible Heat The heat associated with a temperature change of a substance at a constant moisture level. Latent Heat The heat associated with the phase change of a substance. Enthalpy Total heat content of a substance, including both sensible heat plus latent heat. 26

53 HVAC Energy Efficiency Power Ton = 12,000 BTUH Watts = BTUH x HP = watts (or x = 2,545 BTUH) Efficiency EER = BTUH output / Watts input SEER = BTUH output / Watts input (avg. over ann. usage) SEER: Accounts for seasonal ambient temperature variation. Typically about 10% > EER Examples by size: Ton < 1: SEER = 30, Ton < 5: SEER = 19, Ton < 500: SEER = 15 (air cooled) 53
